A highly sensitive nonenzymatic glucose sensor based on CuO nanowires

We report on the sensitive determination of glucose using a glassy carbon electrode modified with CuO nanowires and a Nafion film. The structure and morphology of CuO nanowires were established by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The electrochemical performance of the modified electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Compared to a bare glassy carbon electrode, a substantial increase in efficiency of the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose can be observed. The new glucose sensor displays two useful linear ranges of response towards glucose, is not affected by commonly interfering species, and displays a detection limit as small as 45?nM. The response time is <2?s towards 0.5?mM of glucose. Additional features include high electrocatalytic activity, high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, and good stability.

Cast thin film biosensor design based on a Nafion backbone, a multiwalled carbon nanotube conduit, and a glucose oxidase function

Novel electroanalytical sensing nanobiocomposite materials are reported. These materials are prepared by mixing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), a Nafion cation exchanger, and glucose oxidase (GOD) in appropriate amounts. The MWNTs are cylindrical with a diameter in the range 40-60 nm and with a length of up to several micrometers, and they provide electrical conductivity. Nafion acts as a polymer backbone to give stable and homogeneous cast thin films. Both MWNTs and Nafion provide negative functionalities to bind to positively charged redox enzymes such as glucose oxidase. The resulting biosensing composite material is inexpensive, reliable, and easy to use. The homogeneity of the MWNT-Nafion-GOD nanobiocomposite films was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Amperometric transducers fabricated with these materials were characterized electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and in the presence of glucose. Their linear response to hydrogen peroxide was demonstrated. The glucose biosensor sensitivity was strongly influenced by the glucose oxidase concentration within the nanobiocomposite film. The optimized glucose biosensor (2.5 mg/mL GOD) displayed a sensitivity of 330 nA/mM, a linear range of up to 2 mM, a detection limit of 4 microM, and a response time of <3 s.     

Amperometric Glucose Sensor Fabricated by Combining Glucose Oxidase Micelle Membrane and Aminated Glassy Carbon Electrode

Abstract

An amperometric glucose biosensor based on the detection of the reduction of oxygen has been developed by combining an aminated glassy carbon electrode with a polystyrene (PS) membrane containing glucose oxidase (GOD) micelles. The structure of GOD micelles contained in PS membrane was observed by scanning electron microscope. The micelle has a roughly spherical shape, and the enzyme colony is contained inside the micelle. This glucose sensor exhibited good sensitivity with short response time (within 2 min). A good linear relationship was observed in the concentration range of 0.2 mM to 2.6 mM when the applied potential was ? 0.45 V vs. Ag/AgCl.     

Layer-layer assembly for extremely stable glucose sensors

A novel fabrication of an amperometric glucose sensor by layer after layer approach is described. The sensor electrode is fabricated by arranging a layer of Pt black, a layer of glucose oxidase (GOD) and a layer of stabilizer gelatin on a shapable electro-conductive (SEC) film surface. Finally, the dried layered-assembly is cross-linked by exposing to a diluted glutaraldehyde solution. The performance of the developed sensor is evaluated by a FIA system at 37°C and under a continuous polarization at 0.4 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The sensitivity of the sensor was dependent on the amount of GOD loaded. The highest sensitivity (3.6 μA/mM cm⁻²) of the sensor was obtained at a GOD loading of 160 μg/cm², and the linear dynamic range was extended to 80 mM level when the sensor was covered with a polycarbonate membrane. The sensor shows an extremely stable response for several weeks and a storage stability of over 2 years.     

Development of dimethyl sulfoxide biosensor using a mediator immobilized enzyme electrode

A mediator immobilized dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) sensor using DMSO reductase (DMSO-R) was constructed. Methyl viologen (MV) was used as a mediator and immobilized on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode with Nafion polymer. DMSO-R from Rhodobacter sphaeroides f. sp. denitrificans was retained by a dialysis film on the modified GC electrode. The amperometric signal in response to DMSO was observed. The linear range of the calibration curve for DMSO was between 0 and 600 microM. The response time was within 100 s and the relative standard deviation was 4% at 200 microM DMSO (n = 4). To eliminate the background noise derived from oxygen in samples, the glucose oxidase-catalase retained DMSO sensor was also examined.     

Amperometric glucose sensor using tetrathiafulvalene in Nafion gel as electron shuttle

An amperometric mediated sensor for glucose has been contrived by using bovine serum albumin and glutaraldehyde to immobilize glucose oxidase on a Nafion-tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) modified electrode. It is further coated by Nafion. The inner Nafion membrane can prevent leaking of tetrathiafulvalene; the outer Nafion film serves as a barrier to electroactive anionic interferents such as ascorbate and urate and protects the biosensor from fouling agents. The experiment shows that TTF⁺ and TTF²⁺ can oxidize the reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH₂) of glucose oxidase. The biosensor responds to glucose in less than 50 s and its calibration curve is linear from 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ to l.0 × 10⁻² M.

Direct electrochemistry of glucose oxidase on the hydroxyapatite/Nafion composite film modified electrode and its application for glucose biosensing

A novel glucose biosensor was constructed by immobilizing the glucose oxidase (GOD) on a hydroxyapatite (HAp)/Nafion composite film modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and applied to the highly selective and sensitive determination of glucose. With the cooperation of HAp and Nafion, the composite film played an important role in enhancing the stability and sensitivity of the biosensor. The results demonstrate that the GOD adsorbed onto the HAp/Nafion composite film exhibits a pair of well-defined nearly reversible redox peaks and fine catalysis to the oxidation of glucose companied with the consumption of dissolved oxygen. On the basis of the decrease of the reduction current of dissolved oxygen at the applied potential of −0.80 V (vs. SCE) upon the addition of glucose, the concentration of glucose could be detected sensitively and selectively. The decreased reduction current was linear with the concentration of glucose in the range of 0.12–2.16 mM. The detection limit and sensitivity were 0.02 mM (S/N = 3) and 6.75 mA·M⁻¹, respectively. All the results demonstrate that HAp/Nafion composite film provides a novel and efficient platform for the immobilization of enzymes and realizes the direct electrochemistry. The composite materials should have potential applications in the fabrication of third-generation biosensors.     

Glucose Biosensor Based on Oxygen Electrode Part IV: In Vivo Evaluation of the Rechargeable Glucose Sensor

Abstract

A glucose monitoring system consisting of a pair of amperometric sensors: a glucose biosensor based on oxygen electrode and an oxygen sensor, two miniature potentiostats, an instrumentation amplifier and a data logger has been developed. The glucose sensor has linear response to the glucose concentration in vitro at 37°C up to 26 mM (480 mg/dL) in the phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4), and linear range up to 21 mM (380 mg/dL) in undiluted bovine plasma. The system was evaluated in vivo with the sensors subcutaneously implanted in healthy mongrel dogs. During the implantation the system output was continuously recorded. The results of short-term subcutaneous implantation of the integrated system demonstrated good agreement between the glucose concentration measured by the biosensor and that obtained using standard glucose determination methods. The delay-time between the tissue glucose level (measured by the biosensor) and the blood glucose level (obtained by standard methodology) was 3 to 10 minutes. During the chronic implantation the biosensor was refilled in vivo. Rejuvenation of the sensor response after refilling was observed demonstrating the potential of such sensors for long-term implantation.     

Non-aqueous enzymology approach for improvement of reagentless mediator-based glucose biosensor

The formation of Nafion membranes containing glucose oxidase and dimethylferrocene as a mediator was optimized using a previously reported non-aqueous enzymology approach for biosensor development. Enzyme immobilization in Nafion membranes was carried out from water-organic mixtures with a high content of organic solvent. The mediator based reagentless glucose electrode was tested in a flow injection system. The response towards glucose addition was stable: the reproducibility during 50 assays exceeded 95%. The response was linear over the glucose concentration range 0.5-50 mM.     

A regenerable pseudo-reagentless glucose biosensor based on Nafion polymer and l,1''-dimethylferricinium mediator

Glucose oxidase was immobilized onto electrodes by co-deposition from an aqueous solution containing the diluted ion-exchange polymer Nafion. The cationic exchange property of the polymer was used to provide high local concentrations of l,1'-dimethylferricinium (DMFc⁺) mediator in the film by exchange from solution. The mediated electrodes were operated at +200 mV (vs. ), and the Nafion film was shown to reduce interfering current from ascorbate anion. Cyclic voltammetric analysis revealed a fourteen-fold increase in the effective DMFc⁺ activity at the electrode after extraction into the film. The sensitivity to glucose was 52 μA/cm²/mM in a solution containing 0.09 mM DMFc⁺, which is at least three-fold greater than reported for similar electrodes using hydrogen peroxide detection at +650 mV, with a response time of less than 1 min for a 10 μm thick membrane. Oxygen interference was significant, requiring deaeration of the solution before analysis. The electrodes exhibited no significant decrease in sensitivity for more than 50 days on storage in acetate buffer. Electrodes covered with 8000 MWCO dialysis membrane slowed the exchange of DMFc⁺ with the solution such that the Nafion film functioned as a mediator reservoir. This permitted reagentless analysis of glucose, typically capable of twenty assays when measuring concentrations between 0.1 and 1 mM. The sensitivity for glucose was 7.85 μA/cm²/mM, which is 15% of the sensitivity for the electrode without the dialysis membrane. The detection limit was 20 μM, with a linear range extending to about 3 mM, giving a dynamic range of over two orders of magnitude. Thus where some sacrifice of sensitivity and response rate may be made, the dialysis membrane cover enables multiple analyses in a reagentless biosensor scheme.     

Amperometric biosensors based on the immobilization of oxidases in a Prussian blue film by electrochemical codeposition

Prussian blue has been formed by cyclic voltammetry onto the basal pyrolytic graphite surface to prepare a chemically modified electrode which provides excellent electrocatalysis for both oxidation and reduction of hydrogen peroxide. It is found for the first time that glucose oxidase or -amino oxidase can be incorporated into a Prussian blue film during its electrochemical growth process. Two amperometric biosensors were fabricated by electrochemical codeposition, and the resulting sensors were protected by coverage with a thin film of Nafion. The influence of various experimental conditions was examined for optimum analytical performance. The glucose sensor responds rapidly to substrates with a detection limit of 2 × 10⁻⁶ M and a linear concentration range of 0.01–3 mM. There was no interference from 2 mM ascorbic acid or uric acid. Another ( -amino acid) sensor gave a detection limit of 3 × 10⁻⁵ M -alanine, injected with a linear concentration range of 7.0 × 10⁻⁵-1.4 × 10⁻² M. Glucose and -amino acid sensors remain relatively stable for 20 and 15 days, respectively. There is no obvious interference from anion electroactive species due to a low operating potential and excellent permselectivity of Nafion.     

Fully reversible fibre-optic glucose biosensor based on the intrinsic fluorescence of glucose oxidase

In a new type of glucose biosensor, the intrinsic green fluorescence of glucose oxidase (GOD) is used to provide the analytical information. It was found that the fluorescence of GOD changes during interaction with glucose. Fluorescence is excited at 450 nm and measured at ? 500 nm, which is a wavelength range that is compatible with glass and plastic fibres. The signal response is fully reversible because oxygen is a second substrate. A major feature of this sensor relies on the fact that the recognition element is identical with the transducer element.Enzyme solutions are entrapped at the fibre end within a semipermeable membrane. The change in fluorescence occurs over a small glucose concentration range (typically 1.5–2 mM), the signal at lower and higher glucose levels being unaffected by changes in glucose concentration. Response times of 2–30 min and regeneration times of 1–10 min are observed. Effects of pH and oxygen concentrations are also investigated. To achieve as extended analytical range (e.g., 2.5–10 mM) and shorter response times, kinetic measurements are suggested.     

Amperometric glucose biosensor based on electrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles onto covalently immobilized carbon nanotube electrode

A new amperometric biosensor for glucose was developed based on adsorption of glucose oxidase (GOx) at the gold and platinum nanoparticles-modified carbon nanotube (CNT) electrode. CNTs were covalently immobilized on gold electrode via carbodiimide chemistry by forming amide linkages between carboxylic acid groups on the CNTs and amine residues of cysteamine self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The fabricated GOx/Au_nano/Pt_nano/CNT electrode was covered with a thin layer of Nafion to avoid the loss of GOx in determination and to improve the anti-interferent ability. The immobilization of CNTs on the gold electrode was characterized by quartz crystal microbalance technique. The morphologies of the CNT/gold and Pt_nano/CNT/gold electrodes have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the electrochemical performance of the gold, CNT/gold, Pt_nano/gold and Pt_nano/CNT/gold electrodes has also been studied by amperometric method. In addition, effects of electrodeposition time of Pt nanoparticles, pH value, applied potential and electroactive interferents on the amperometric response of the sensor were discussed.

The enzyme electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity and rapid response for glucose in the absence of a mediator. The linear range was from 0.5 to 17.5 mM with correction coefficient of 0.996. The biosensor had good reproducibility and stability for the determination of glucose.     

Gold nanoparticles and a glucose oxidase based biosensor: an attempt to follow-up aging by XPS

Amperometric biosensors are widely used for clinical, food industry and environmental control. A universal platform allowing immobilization of different enzymes could provide a fast and easy way to design new sensors, but the main drawback effect with oxidase based biosensors is the production of hydrogen peroxide. The direct electron transfer is a way to limit the H₂O₂ production. A modified electrode described by Zhao et al. (Bioelectrochemistry, 69(2):158, 2006), based on immobilization of glucose oxidase/colloidal gold nanoparticles on a glassy carbon electrode by Nafion film, has been used. Its sensitivity is 0.4 μA mM^?1 cm^?2, reproducibility is 3.0%, detection limit is 0.37 mM, response to glucose is linear up to 20 mM; limit of detection is 0.37 mM and response time is about 1.5 min. This sensor displays a formal redox potential compatible with a direct electron transfer, and has been tested for its response in time and GOx denaturation by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Vanishing of disulphide bonds of GOx has been observed after a period in a saturating solution of glucose but this does not appear determinant in loss of enzyme activity.     

Amperometric Glucose Biosensor on Layer by Layer Assembled Carbon Nanotube and Polypyrrole Multilayer Film

An amperometric glucose biosensor on layer by layer assembled carbon nanotube and polypyrrole multilayer film has been reported in the present investigation. Homogeneous and stable single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and polypyrrole (PPy) multilayer films were alternately assembled on platinum coated Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. Since conducting polypyrrole has excellent anti‐interference ability, protection ability in favor of increasing the amount of the SWNTs on platinum coated PVDF membrane and superior transducing ability, a layer by layer approach of polypyrrole and carbon nanotubes has provided an excellent matrix for the immobilization of enzyme. The layer‐by‐layer assembled SWNTs and PPy‐modified platinum coated PVDF membrane is shown to be an excellent amperometric sensor over a wide range of concentrations of glucose. The glucose oxidase (GOx) was immobilized on layer by layer assembled film by a physical adsorption method by cross linking through Glutaraldehyde. The glucose biosensor exhibited a linear response range from 1 mM to 50 mM of glucose concentration with excellent sensitivity of 7.06 μA/mM.     

Selective and sensitive electrochemical detection of glucose in neutral solution using platinum-lead alloy nanoparticle/carbon nanotube nanocomposites

Electrodeposition of Pt-Pb nanoparticles (PtPbNPs) to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) resulted in a stable PtPbNP/MWCNT nanocomposite with high electrocatalytic activity to glucose oxidation in either neutral or alkaline medium. More importantly, the nanocomposite electrode with a slight modification exhibited high sensitivity, high selectivity, and low detection limit in amperometric glucose sensing at physiological neutral pH (poised at a negative potential). At +0.30 V in neutral solution, the nanocomposite electrode exhibited linearity up to 11 mM of glucose with a sensitivity of 17.8 μA cm⁻² mM⁻¹ and a detection limit of 1.8 μM (S/N = 3). Electroactive ascorbic acid (0.1 mM), uric acid (0.1 mM) and fructose (0.3 mM) invoked only 23%, 14% and 9%, respectively, of the current response obtained for 3 mM glucose. At −0.15 V in neutral solution, the electrode responded linearly to glucose up to 5 mM with a detection limit of 0.16 mM (S/N = 3) and detection sensitivity of ∼18 μA cm⁻² mM⁻¹. At this negative potential, ascorbic acid, uric acid, and fructose were not electroactive, therefore, not interfering with glucose sensing. Modification of the nanocomposite electrode with Nafion coating followed by electrodeposition of a second layer of PtPbNPs on the Nafion coated PtPbNP/MWCNT nanocomposite produced a glucose sensor (poised at −0.15 V) with a lower detection limit (7.0 μM at S/N = 3) and comparable sensitivity, selectivity and linearity compared to the PtPbNP/MWCNT nanocomposite. The Nafion coating lowered the detection limit by reducing the background noise, while the second layer of PtPbNPs restored the sensitivity to the level before Nafion coating.     

A glucose biosensor using methyl viologen redox mediator on carbon film electrodes

A new methyl viologen-mediated amperometric enzyme electrode sensitive to glucose has been developed using carbon film electrode substrates. Carbon film electrodes from resistors fabricated by pyrolytic deposition of carbon were modified by immobilization of glucose oxidase through cross-linking with glutaraldehyde in the presence of bovine serum albumin. The mediator, methyl viologen, was directly immobilised with the enzyme together with Nafion cation-exchange polymer. The electrochemistry of the glucose oxidase/methyl viologen modified electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The biosensor response to glucose was evaluated amperometrically; the detection limit was 20 μM, the linear range extended to 1.2 mM and the reproducibility of around 3%. When stored in phosphate buffer at 4 °C and used every day, the sensor showed good stability over more several weeks.     

Sol–gel immobilized enzymatic glucose biosensor on gold interdigitated array (IDA) microelectrode

An enzymatic glucose biosensor with good sensitivity, selectivity and stability employing interdigitated array microelectrode (IDA μ-electrode) was reported. IDA μ-electrode was prepared by photolithography method with its surface immobilized with a layer of glucose oxidase (GOx), entrapped in a three-dimensional network composed of chitosan and tetraethyl orthosilicate sol–gel. The surface of the as-prepared IDA μ-electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscope, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, and atomic force microscopy. The experimental parameters for the best glucose sensing performance were optimized according to the loading of GOx, the applied voltages, the concentration of mediator, and the pH for glucose detection. The resulted biosensor exhibited a good response to glucose with a wide linear range from 0 to 35 mM and a low detection limit of 1 mM. The glucose sensor also showed a short response time (within 5 s) that the fast response was reflected by the small Michaelis–Menten constant (K_M ^app) with a value of 2.94 mM. The reported glucose biosensor exhibited good sensitivity (8.74 μA/mM.cm²), reproducibility, and stability.
